​@@TtvFortew3 another interesting question, sugar or fat is bad, is this possible ? either both are good or even bad ( no need ), because sugar turns in fat ( can be stored ) if not used, ( in your and by your body ). and if glucose ( 1 part of- sugar / carbs / starches ) is needed for energy, some fat is turned to glucose. what many doctors, of all kinds say. well, sometimes i have this, wow effect about the whole world. take care.

In Shawn and my case, I recommend adding soft foam mattress. The nightly pain was horrible. My mattress just arrived, and I would say 80% less pressure (Left), but I am still needing to sleep on my right . I am a little disappointed that my foam is not as soft as the couch or daughter's bed. Softer means less pressure on the problem spot and less chance of getting hurt by laying in bed. Getting old sucks. Unfortunately, I am Shawn's age. 😂. Neck and neck on our thick heads of hair,too😅

I also injured my Neck similarly in Jiujitsu, Muay Thai about 12 years ago. The best relief I found is doing Dead hangs for 30 seconds to a minute x 3 sets 5 days a week. I’m 44 now and pain free most the time.

I suffered damage to all the disks in my cervical spine when I was 16. I did not receive treatment until I was 44, when they fused C5/C6 because one entire side of the disk was gone. I had advanced cervical stenosis. It has been 18 years since that surgery. I have been Keto/Ketovore for the last five years. There appears to be a correlation between high ketone levels and reduced nerve pain. I am also finding that eating a high collagen diet from animal protein sources (like homemade bone broth and eggs) seems to be helping. I wish you well on your current healing journey.

Praying for you, brother! Appreciate you and how you have been a blessing to so many.

As a chiropractor, i see patients going through this quite often. Its somewhat of a struggle mentally for me because i feel bad for patients ive taken care of for years, and despite best efforts, that nerve is just too irritated to do much help for a time. Surgery never an option i push patients into going for, as ive seen many just get worse and wore afterwards. Telling them they have to ride it out and take meds and keep moving and nerve floss and therapy like traction and massage and mobilization etc...and it will just be a matter of time and it will subside. Hard to watch patients and loved ones suffer as they heal very slowly. It will subside...ride it out. Diet will be a huge part of healing the neuroinflammation. But time unfortunately is the key....love your channel. Ty for your content. I show my patients your videos as inspiration.

I absolutely love my handheld ultrasound machine. Put my husband back together. He had an injury, after using a sulfur medication for a MRSA infection. He lifted one cinder block and one of his trap muscles in the back. Snapped. He couldn't lift his arm couldn't do anything. 70 dollars for the use of the ultrasound machine at our chiropractor's office needed at least three times a week No we did it everyday. Best $600 I ever spent. I did heat and ice therapy three times a day. Stretching. When he thought about it he stretched. Which was a lot. We started with walking his fingers up the wall. Within 7 months he could lift his whole arm up. Eight months he could lift 20 lb. Within 1 year he could wing a sledgehammer. Strongly... The chiropractor was quite proud. Absolutely. I bought your equipment. And I did it myself. On the daily. Worked extremely hard on my husband. I love him so much... ❤

I was in car accident and had brain injury and spinal neck damage, I could not move my neck at all, locked, so many other symptoms that would be impossible to list here. Basically bed ridden and specialists couldnt help at all and would not operate. After 7 years they labelled me disabled forever, I then heard of NUCCA, National Upper Cervcial Chiro Assoc, I am telling you, this changed my life so that I can be among the living, with 1 treatment I was able able to turn and raise and lower my neck. Amazing, no surgery no drugs no pain and it took 5-10 min, It was a slow recover for all other symptoms to subside and I am partially liimited to what I can do, and have to be careful. But this is why I am now mostly carnivore hoping that this will help with more healing. MY injury higher in the spine and do not know if NUCCA would help Dr Baker or not, but worth checking into and having to resort to surgery

Hey Shawn I ended up with the damned neck surgery - I’m really well now - it was 5 years ago- right into keto for recovery and now carnivore 3 years - you’re definitely doing the right thing - and although I’ve recovered well - I wouldn’t wish such surgery on anyone ❤️ Be well - you are a treasure ❤

Wish you well on your recovery Dr Baker. I remember getting an injury from a guillotine in BJJ in the upper spine years ago (more of a upper thoracic injury, below C7 thankfully). Took me about 3 months to heal and getting out of bed in the morning was difficult. Spinal injuries suck and I wish you a speedy recovery! All the best 🙌

Have you tried CBD? I replaced opioids that couldn't stop pain from amputation to CBD, all nerve pain went. I still remember my first nights full sleep after months of at best broken sleep.

I had a neck fusion C3-C6 with hardware. When I awoke from the surgery my left arm and right arm were paralyzed. Before the surgery I could do 100 pushups without taking many breaths. Hard to believe that area of the neck in nerve’s controls so many parts of the body. That’s why it’s imperative to keep on strengthening and carnivore along with prayer. I am no longer paralyzed but have left side weakness. I believe prayer and carnivore and weight lifting helped in nerve growth. I use a neck pillow to sleep or a firm pillow. Now my lower spine is an issue but no more surgeries for me! Wishing you the best Dr. Baker in your decisions ahead.

Depends. This is a real emergency situation that could cause permanent numbness, which means permanent nerve damage. C6 and C7 fusion is not really life ending. Matter of fact, this is the best case scenario if a fusion in the Cervical is needed due to the level and you dont lose but maybe a few degrees of movement. The main issue is permanent paralysis in his hand and arm could be at stake. But he may only need a disc replacement or in some cases, disc trimmed via ultrasonic surgery. He should be tracking daily if he is losing function. If he is, the longer he waits, the more the nerve dies.

Will pray for you , I’m a 5 level T11-L3 fusion from a shattered L1 almost 11 years ago. Work related accident, was working out before and been training every since. You got this . Was Keto for 8 years and you put on to carnivore 2 years now . God bless and get better .

That’s really hard. I had that exact injury with half of my spinal column compressed. I was in so much pain that I had to tell everyone for months before my surgery that I had severe allergies because I constantly cried, even on nerve blockers. I had no choice but to get surgery in 2015 with a disc replacement. It was amazingly effective, I recovered quickly, and have had no problems since then. Just make sure to take care of your neck movements so that you don’t have to get another surgery down the road.

I remember you mentioning your injury Dr. Baker but I thought it had resolved. As an ortho surgeon, you know what your body needs to recover, so you do you. I'll be praying for your full recovery. And please, document EVERYTHING & post it here so we'll have your treatment plan as an N=1 case study.

for sure. any injury needs a break. numbness that doesn’t go away points to your body (speaking up) needing down time, and over training isn’t wise for any age segment.

Sending prayers for a quick recovery. ❤ Thanks for sharing.

Sending prayers Dr. Baker for a speedy recovery and to become pain free with your new diet regimen. ❤

I hope this change helps to correct these issues from your injury! I first went keto but changed to carnivore for the simplicity it gave my life. I've always viewed Keto and Carnivore as being almost the same diet but just a 'severity slider' for the number of carbs you want to consume.

I view low carb, paleo, keto and carnivore as a spectrum.

@@sanautin If I am thinking like Dr Berry, I am thinking good. Maybe I heard him mention it and only my subconscious got the message.

I’ve never had major serious injuries, but I can relate with having muscle pain (from labor intensive work) keeping me from being able to sleep well and it is awful. Hang in there! I’ll keep you in my prayers Dr. Baker 🙏🏻 I hope you recover quickly from your injury without having to have any surgery.

Muscle pain is completely diff from nerve pain Once ur endured nerve pain you know the difference Excruciating n can’t sleep, no OTC meds touch it

All the best with your recovery Shawn , I'm 54 and recovery gets more challenging with age. I'm cursed with back issues after 34 years of plumbing. Carnivore/ instinctive eating, weight training, mountain biking and plenty of prayer keep me in check mentally. physically and spiritually. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to quality nutrition. Blessings from Bundaberg Australia.🙏

What is instinctive eating if most people's gut cultures have been disrupted? Would someone who is morbidly obese with an eating disorder do well eating "instinctually"? Probably about as well as a crack addict trying to make the habit sustainable. Baker is selling people a twisted fantasy to earn KZread ad revenue. He knows this diet is terrible for heart health, and that the results are only superficial and temporary. He knows most of his followers will probably end up on Ozempic or diabetes meds, and he doesn't feel any responsibility to prevent that with how far his reach is. The truth will be more apparent soon enough.

Thank you for sharing this. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.

Get well doc, I love that you always promote a diet that’s best for our own bodies. Sending lots of hugs and support and I wish you a speedy recovery!!! ❤❤❤

My neuropathy has improved significantly on the diet and I find that Benfotiamine, B-1, is very helpful in the healing process. My hope for a speedy and successful recovery, Dr. Baker! Thanks for all you do for the community.

I agree; ride it out. I'm 64, have had nerve pain from neck and back. You know the body has an amazing way of healing itself. Time, I hope will be your friend. Love your chanel from - California

Bless you Dr Shaun, you are so brave. Hope recovery is swift.

I have nerve pain that began a little over a year ago and it has destroyed my sleep but I'm slowly getting better. Waking up so many times throughout the night frequently into a full anxiety sweat attack that wakes me up so fast that it's nearly impossible to fall asleep. I'm here still fighting and I hope you make a speedy recovery along with the rest of us 🙏

Make sure you are taking a B Complex every day. It made a huge difference for me. Zero alcohol as well. Not sure why buy alcohol brings my symptoms from a 1 to a 6 every time.

Sorry to hear about your injury and pain. Praying for you for your choices on your efforts to heal.

Feel better doc, thanks for everything you do.

I had to make this change early on in my journey 8 years ago, my blood sugar would go up if I didn't eat enough fat like chicken breast and I would get loose bm's and even cystic acne on my neck... But I was so sick I couldn't work out hard because it made me feel worse like I had the flu... The fact that you are healthier is probably why it took so long to affect you... Hope it helps!!! It really makes a difference in my day-to-day life!!!

Thank you for keeping us updated and, as always, you help us while you help yourself - we learn so much from you. I do hope you can get better without surgery - rooting for you!!!!🤞🏋
